I caught Dangerous Dave pissing in the bathroom sink today. I didn't even know he was Danish.

On the plus side I might be one step closer to the holy grail of a cat that can just use the toilet like a normal person...

The grail is real! Don't listen to the doubters I've seen it withMe own two eyes. But ware the great beasty of the loch (or toilet if you will). For it is vast and beasty like. Say not that ye were not warned. Now go forth and train your cats in the way of the grail.

In a front page article, Nate reveals he bought his kitchen stroller used on craigslist. I would like to know what a kitchen stroller is, but wikipedia, google, and amazon come up blank. I'm not going to follow front page comments to ask there.

My wife is off to NYC today, for work. So, naturally, last night, around 8 PM, her hard drive shit the bed.

On the bright side, I had a full backup, a new SSD, and a win7 install disk.On the down side, installing and restoring all that shit still takes time.On the bright side, her computer is up and running again.On the down side, I've had 3-1/2 hours of sleep.

In other news, I want a Batman-logo-shaped bread pan. While the loaf proofs, before baking, I can watch the Dark Knight Rising.

Kitchen strollers are becoming a requirement for trips to the grocery store, if one is buying baby corn, baby bok choy, or Baby Belle cheeses. Some of the more trendy gourmands also have kitchen booster seats to transport the same home in their Honda Odysseys.

That 1.5 second gap in traffic is called a "safe following distance", it is not a declaration that "there's a party in front of me (and everyone's invited)"!

You must never have driven in the Northeast; not only is that a party where everyone's invited, they'll cut you off to get there, even though it's multiple freaking car lengths, they must be there just ahead of your fucking bumper.

My morning commute is full of moments like that...I try to keep calm by blasting Thrash Metal.

Google Offers coupon: for $25 you get $50 towards a Mother's Day gift on Harry and David? Cool! I tend to buy my wife gifts from there for Mother's day anyway.

Go to Harry and David, choose large stack of stuff for $60. There's free shipping, so $60-$25 = $35 total. Nice discount. But wait... when you apply the coupon, you lose the free shipping. So now it's $60 -$25 + $13 = $47. Still a decent discount, but very meh of them. In the end, the real offer was $38 for $50.

I decided to queue up a little nostalgia, so I started up Pandora and selected the 90's Pop station. While it's amusing to listen to all of these songs from my high school years that, though at the time we thought they were cool, are just awful, it's still put me in a rather happy mood. So all in all, a complete success.

I am now the proud owner of a Merkur safety razor. Thanks to all who suggested it and I will report the findings of it's awesomeness once it arrives.

What blades do you use?

I'm going to start with the Murkur blades it came with, but I'll have to try a few out to see what works best. Right now I'm researching what kind of shaving soap to use. Not sure if I want to use Prorasso despite the great reviews.

Better than the AA deal with Halfords for car MoT tests I encountered yesterday. It was actually more expensive with the discount applied.

If it was a "full" backup, wouldn't the restore just take however long it takes to copy the image back onto the SSD?

It would have, except:SSD was smaller than the old driveShe was running Vista, so this was an opportunity to upgrade that shit to Win7.So it was clean OS install, selective restore of files, settings, and programs. Which took longer.

The biggest thing I learned, and pretty quickly, was that you need very little pressure on your face to get a great shave. It really is just the weight of the razor. Learning that with Feather blades involved blood.

Can you imagine the shame you must feel as an anarchist, to believe you're planning on blowing up a bridge only to find out you're government puppets AND you're about to be sent to a "pound me in the ass" federal penitentiary.

"Look at me, I'm 20 years old and angry, I'm gonna be an 'narchist!" lol

Few things give me quite the visceral reaction that demolition and construction give me...it's a very awesome feeling.

I helped My Betrothed's sister tear out her old and moldy bathroom, and put up new insulation, vapor barrier (was missing before), and then finally mold-resistant dry wall. It was only a small room, but damn, it felt awesome to do that.

I LOLed. Yeah. Blowing up a bridge in Ohio will show The Man.

(I'm allowed to LOL. I'm from Ohio. )

I'm laughing and I'm not even American. They're sad, pathetic individuals, who create meaning for their lives by destroying things others make.

Anatomy is just starting to get complex at uni, so I've thought of a game to help alleviate the stress. Any time a new term is introduced, see whether it would work as a sexual position. For instance, The Circle of Willis is one for a drunken party, The Aortic Arch is one for the couple that really know each other, and The Descending Colon is... well, it just is.

A friend of mine had a saying, "How come anarchists use public roads?" I always guessed they would just use what they came across, but I got the gist, anarchy isn't so much a group of anything, otherwise, it wouldn't be anarchy. Like, back in my scant punk days, "anarchy" was more of a reactionary term meaning, "NO, YUO!" rather than "I am a card-carrying anarchist, and take the minutes during our quarterly board meetings." Like "infinity," it's more of a concept than a physical reality, although I am sure there are some people who managed to be true anarchists, and if that's the case, then you'd never see or hear from them because they reject society and all its rules. So if they showed up, they'd be arrested, or they'd conform to the societies rules to avoid that, and then they wouldn't be technical anarchists. Your opinion might differ.

I do know a lot of... well, if anarchy was a form of societal atheism, I don't have a word for "agnostics," in that same frame. But agnochy? I'll make up that word. Agnochists would neither believe in social structure nor complete anti-reaction, but just did as they pleased as it fit them. I know a lot of those people. They treat society like any animal treats its jungle environment; reacting and adjusting behavior as needed. They don't vote, they don't care who is in charge, and they don't hold a job. They just survive somehow. Many of them are artists and really non-dependable.

My understanding is that Anarchists basically hate the "State" and hole it be undesirable and unneeded, but ironically, the protesters show that it is needed to defend us against anarchist assholes.

The whole philosophy instantly falls apart by the fact that human beings have demonstrated for thousands of years they're bad, greedy, selfish, immoral and cannot be trusted without society standards and enforcement. So I just think they're idiots.

A less cynical way to put it would be that humans are social animals and, as such, will spontaneously organize a 'society' when they're is a group larger than a family. Both religious and state organizations are outgrowths of that aspect of human nature. True anarchy is unobtainable; a social structure will always emerge (even anarchists hold meetings.).

It's not cynical. History has repeatedly demonstrated human nature. It only takes a few people who abuse any system for it to fall apart, which is why a good system has controls, like the Police, laws, etc. The first psychopath or overly selfish individual could blow such a system down.

The philosophers can dream up every ideal society all they want, but if it isn't going to work, it has little value.

I've thought about using Derby blades for this single reason. I have a tendency to shave bits of myself off. Softish skin, but a very coarse beard.

I have a nice scab on my face from my 2nd Feather. 1st one was great on the face (hated my skull). 2nd one left me bleeding like I had used a Lord blade, AKA Lord I'm bleeding!

I'm going to have to grab that assortment pack that was linked a few pages back and try the blades in that and put off using Feathers until I have more practice.

Lords are SHIT blades. I have been using Feathers since my second try with my razor and have still yet to cut myself. Shave LIGHTLY. You aren't peeling a potato here dangit!

This. I use Feathers every shave and usually get 2-3 weeks use out of them. Derby blades irritated my face for some reason - they pulled on the hair as they cut, whereas the Feathers are sharp enough to cut clean through. They also cut clean through your skin, though, so do be careful. I cut myself quite a bit in my learning stages.

Tip: not all the hair on your neck grows in the same direction. My hair grows sort of across, so I shave up on the left and down on the right. Any other way and I end up with razor burn or cuts.
